WIP Wednesday

I really need to get more productive with my sewing since there are many birthdays coming up and I keep buying more fabric (too many online sales that I can't resist). To help me stay on track, I'm going to resume WIP Wednesdays.

New projects:
1) A friend recently had a baby girl. We got them a gift card so they can buy what they need but also wanted to include something handmade, so I'm making them a couple of personalized bibs. I've finished one (and have one more to go):

(sorry for the terrible pic!)

2. I've been wanting to make a quilt for my mom for a while. Finally got started this week. I decided on a HST quilt. I am using the shortcut HST method that yields 4 HSTs at a time but it is still taking me a long time to iron, cut and sew all those HSTs. Playing with the layout is also very time consuming! Here is what I have so far:

3. I've been dying to work on my bee blocks based on this tutorial but I'm waiting for my kona white to come in the mail. In the meantime, I did a couple of "test" blocks which I'll use to make a quilt for Project Linus:

4. I need to make a gift for my SIL's birthday. I'm thinking of making her this super cute clutch.
5. My Covert Robin gift...only blog stalking my partner so far. I have some ideas but I really should get started.

Here's to hoping that I'll have some progress to report by next week! :)
